Five Months Old

Gaines is such a big boy!  He weighs in at 17 pounds now!  Wow!  He is smart and silly and oh so sweet.  He loves his bouncy, and loves to watch cartoons with music - Fresh Beat Band, Dora, Diego, Elmo.  He is almost too big for his swing now, but still gets in from time to time.  He rolls over from back to stomach ALL the time.  But, he will not roll the other way.  He just lies on his tummy and gets very angry until we roll back over.  He has done it a couple of times, but refuses now.  He is eating rice cereal with fruit now. He loves bananas.  Apples are pretty good.  Peaches and Pears are just OK.  He has also started a vegetables but has only had sweet potatoes so far.  He likes those too.  The boy just loves to eat!  He is a great sleeper most of the time.  He occasionally gets in our bed, but I secretly love it! : )  He slept until 9:30 this morning.  Summer is wearing him out!
                                           Just a couple of hours old


                                          And now... 5 months old!
Stan and I cannot imagine what we did without this boy.  We are so so blessed!  He truly brightens every single day.  He smiles and laughs so much.  He loves his toys, especially his snail and his monkey.  He likes his doggie "love" too.  He also loves his new squeaky giraffe.  My only complaint is his new habit of pooping in the tub!  Ugh!

Fun day

We went to Germantown today to see Edward and Christina. Baby Ed will be making his appearance Wednesday! We can't wait.






So excited for them! Can't wait to meet baby Ed!












Two of my very favorite boys! Oh how I love these two!



Sweet little Reed. I bet he and Gaines are going to get in a lot of trouble together over the years!

Rolling

Gaines rolled from back to front this afternoon for the first time. But we didn't see it! I was cooking and Stan was taking the trash out. Gaines was on his back playing with his feet on a blanket. When Stan came back in, Gaines was on his stomach. Strong boy! Hate we missed it!



He is now eating rice cereal mixed with fruit. He likes peaches, pears are ok, but he LOVES bananas. As mama pointed out, of course our monkey man loves bananas.


















Pam, Jim, and Lura made this for me at the beach! So sweet! And it made me cry, of course!

4 month check up

Gaines got to see Dr. Smith again today. He was happy to see him but not his nurse who gave him shots!

He weighs 16 pounds 2 ounces and is 25 3/4 inches. Big boy! He is in the 75th percentile for weight and height.

He did better with his shots this time. He was mad but got over it quickly.
